"Do you want to be like your dad?" yes...... I imagine, but except for the Go style (laughs). ”
The fourth pair of father-son professional chess players in Korea was born. On the 10th, in the final day of the 148th Korea Chess Academy's Fixed Section Conference (General) held at the Korea Chess Academy Convention Hall, Kim Hyun-bin (17 years old) successfully entered the dan and became a professional chess player with his father Kim Seung-joon Jiudan (48 years old).
A total of 153 people (126 preliminary rounds, 27 seeded players) participated in the competition, competing for 5 fixed-segment places, and Kim Hyun-bin, as the second seeded player in the graduate ranking, began to participate in the official competition.
Each round of the final stage is played on a two-player strikeout system. In the final of the 64-man competition, although Kim Hyun-bin also encountered difficulties, he was fortunate to pass the fierce competition and realize his long-awaited dream of a professional chess player. The Korean Chess Academy lost the previous day to South Korea's Ren Jin-wook Il-seok.
